Just to be sure: Are you actually saying _wrong_ answers to avoid trying to say the _actual_ ones? Other than that, what you're describing sounds like a common avoidance tactic. And you're right, it can become a habit. We learn to rely on being able to just dodge difficult items, but the problem with that is exactly that sometimes, there's no alternative. So, it makes sense to try and tackle it directly sometimes too. We can't guarantee success either way, though, which is an important part of the process.
